Quotes 

• [Frank and Stan look on from a different reality as a young punk accidentally shoots the detective] 

  Detective Stan Gates : Well, there goes his life.

  Frank Nolan : His life? You're the one getting shot.

  Detective Stan Gates : Yeah, but he's the one who's going to have to pay for it.

• [discussing Stan's previous relationship with Charlotte Benning] 

  Frank Nolan : Why didn't you tell us before?

  Detective Stan Gates : All I've got left of Charlie are memories - they're private and they're mine. In 15 years, I've never told anybody. Philip didn't even know. Now you give me one good reason why I should have told you.

  Fay Peronivic : Because you didn't walk through that door here tonight to relive all this with a bunch of perfect strangers. Something is not adding up here, Stan, and we're going to find out what.

  Frank Nolan : Ah, excuse me. I don't remember volunteering to play Professor Plum in the study with a magnifying glass.

• [Frank and Stan go back in time to the place of Charlotte's murder] 

  Frank Nolan : This is your second chance, Stan!

  Detective Stan Gates : No... it's my last chance.
